UT Research Team Exploring Geologic Hydrogen Recovery

The University of Texas at Austin is partnering with a new regional energy center, the HyVelocity Hub, to help bring the benefits of hydrogen energy to local communities vulnerable to pollution, the University announced on Oct. 13.

President Joe Biden is investing $7 billion in seven hydrogen hubs to promote clean hydrogen production, aiming to reduce emissions from its current production process amidst the debate over whether it should be produced as "blue" or "green" hydrogen

With funding from the Biden administration’s infrastructure law, the HyVelocity Hub is a consortium of seven energy-producing companies. The hub will advance the development of clean energy and bring jobs to the Gulf Coast area.

Houston will receive a substantial $1.2 billion investment for a new hydrogen hub, part of a $7 billion initiative for seven such hubs nationwide. The goal is to make hydrogen production more cost-effective and environmentally friendly, potentially powering homes, vehicles, and workplaces. This project is aligned with the Biden Administration's aim for a zero-carbon economy by 2050 and is expected to generate thousands of jobs in the Houston area.

President Biden and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm have unveiled seven regional clean hydrogen hubs, backed by $7 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding, to drive the growth of low-cost, clean hydrogen in the U.S. These hubs are integral to President Biden's clean energy vision, expected to trigger more than $40 billion in private investment, create thousands of jobs, reduce carbon emissions by 25 million metric tons annually, and help achieve the 2030 U.S. clean hydrogen production goal, with an overall investment of nearly $50 billion in clean manufacturing and job creation.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is allocating $7 billion to establish seven Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) across the country, with each hub expected to produce three million metric tons of clean hydrogen annually, significantly reducing emissions from energy-intensive sectors and creating tens of thousands of jobs. The H2Hubs aim to leverage a diverse range of energy resources and support hydrogen production, storage, and use, promoting decarbonization and economic benefits while enhancing market certainty for private sector investments in clean hydrogen.

President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda Drives $50 Billion in Public-Private Sector Investment to Jumpstart America’s Clean Hydrogen Economy; Seven Clean Hydrogen Hubs Will Create Tens of Thousands of High-Quality Jobs, Strengthen the Nation’s Energy Security, and Combat the Climate Crisis.

GTI Energy announced that the U.S Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations has selected all three hydrogen hubs in which GTI Energy is an administrator or partner to begin award negotiations for the development of the HyVelocity Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub, the Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2) and the Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen (MachH2) Hub. With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law investment, each hub is poised to deploy hydrogen at scale and deliver energy and economic benefits to surrounding communities. These Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs are set to advance the clean hydrogen industry, create jobs, and promote energy security.
